Hello everyone, this is my first post.
I have just ordered a Probook because it is new laptop time and after reading the OSX compatability of the 4530s, I decided to go for it so I can have multiple os's. I share my computers with somebody who prefers OSX. Here are the specs:
i7 2670qm
8Gb Ram
HD3000 and 6490m graphics
I have installed OSX Tiger and Snow Leopard onto Intel PC's before. I started at the beginning with an Asus F3JA 1.67 C2D laptop with x1600m graphics using 10.4.8. More recently I have built a triple booting Dell Optiplex 755 C2D 3.0GHz using iBoot Multi/Easybeast and Apple OSX 10.6.3 install disc. The Dell 755 is really a great and cheap machine! Configuring Grub2 to triple boot OSX, Ubuntu and XP was a pain at first but I got there eventually.
I have read a lot of threads on here so far and will possibly replace the screen with the 1080p one. Anyway, some questions:
I have an official Snow Leopard disc. Should I use that or purchase Mountain Lion for this laptop?
To install ML, I purchase from the App Store then create a USB installer, then use the tegezee Installer App. Is this this correct?
Has any progress been made to support the 6490m graphics?
Any other things I should know?
